An apparatus and method are provided for ensuring good coupling and vertically planting (12) of seis-mic receivers while substantially reducing the need for interconnecting wires and costly surveys. The appara-tus includes an acquisition unit (AU) (20) for measuring seismic energy and a planting member (12) for engag-ing and planting the AU (20). An electronic surveying instrument (14) is coupled to the planting member (12) for determining the location of the AU (20). An installer (16) plants the AU (20) in the terrain (22) in near vertical alignment using the planting member (12). Once the AU (20) is planted in near vertical alignment, coordinates are downloaded from the electronic survey unit to locate the planted AU (20).

Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé permettant s'assurer un bon raccord et un plantage vertical de récepteurs sismiques tout en réduisant de façon importante des études coûteuses et la nécessité d'interconnecter des câbles. Cet appareil comprend une unité d'acquisition AU (20) permettant de mesurer l'énergie sismique et un planteur (12) permettant d'introduire et de planter l'AU (20). Un instrument de relevé électronique (14) est relié au planteur (12) de façon à déterminer l'emplacement de l'AU (20). Un installateur (16) plante l'AU (20) dans le terrain selon un alignement presque vertical en utilisant le planteur (12). Lorsque l'AU (20) est planté selon un alignement presque vertical, les coordonnés sont téléchargées à partir de l'unité de relevé électronique afin de localiser l'AU (20) planté.
